General Chat

I have been looking at some old threads, I don't particularly want to leave them all on here but there are over 30,000 posts of my own lol so deletion isn't an option for all of them.

Anyway I was rather taken by a thread posted years ago on " being wary " on the internet where I replied several times this being one of them:

"I've been wary of the abilities of anyone 'looking me up' on here since I was told in no uncertain terms that 'Rose' is not my "real name" "

:-D

As an aside it's rather sad to see the difference in the board then and now, not that it was a better, nicer place then, it certainly wasn't, but it did whack along at a grand pace :-)

it certainly has changed since those years :-(


as you say it wasn't nicer back then, but threads certainly moved along!

Well, the RR's work is done :-D

I do hope that they have acheived a sense of satisfaction, and that they can now sit back and rest on their laurels :-P :-D :-D

I do hope this doesn't mean you aren't renewing

You will be missed

There's not a lot of us helpers left now that wait for enquires so we can be off and looking !

Allan .....

have they RR'd you?

Many times, Sylvia

I don't mind being RR'd if I know the reason. I try not to post anything offensive or derogatory but sometimes I may post things which could either be taken out of context or be misinterpreted or even have a meaning which in some culture ould be offensive.

If I don't know why something has been reported I can't modify my posts :-(

Have they RR'd over the last couple of days??

No, in fact I don't think that any posts have been recently, at least not on those threads that I contribute to or may add to.

Haven't seen any for maybe a month or so....

Its certainly not as much fun as it was all those years ago. I can remember being eager to get back on line to see 'who had said what'. :-D

I remember ...

All the discussions each time the site format changed.

The arguments between various members.

The speed at which the boards moved.

The members whose replies could be considered as rather....er .... snarky

The long standing threads I became part of

The time when John was banned for 6 years.......

So many memories and just where is AnnCardiff these days?

I remember the rows which seemed to start over nothing. And the threats, which were a bit scary.

But also I remember the support given to members when they were ill. And the money raised in Gaynor's memory with the pink bear.

There were some very strange people on here, back in the day, and many fakes, I'm sure.

The trolls have moved on to pastures new.

‘General’ was rather sedate. ‘Chat’ was light hearted or viscous. It was a scary place.

I rejoined last time as I enjoy doing the searches, but not in the best state of health so will not renew for a while at least, and try and get other things done while I still can :-) just generally falling apart at the seams lol.

On that, has anyone who has had 'the cough' that's been going round, had pains in their feet,legs and hands following it? I have arthritis in knees anyway but the last day have had really quite horrendous pain in my feet and hands...(on a scale of 1 to 10 hitting 8+) it's like arthritis pain but more so and the phrase 'not knowing where to put yourself' sums it up pretty well :-( ...and yes I will go to Dr when i can get there.

If you can’t get to the doctors, can they come to you??

+++DetEcTive+++ I doubt it, they don't unless you are at death's door. :-)

Oh rose that sounds painful. I had the cough which wiped me out for about 4 weeks but didn't have those pains at all. Hope you can get that sorted soon.

I do enjoy chatting on here but the good old bad old days were mostly fun. even the rows and trolling was mesmerising for those of us onlookers. There were certainly some very strange vindictive people on here who brought out the worst in some who were not as bad, so it became tit for tat and drove Admin wild.

We had some really funny threads that were laugh out loud funny. the long running pantomime thread (with our lovely and much missed BC as the Old Woman who lived in the shoe) was hilarious and quite annoying if it had moved on a page or so by the time you got back on.

Those days won't come back because they are tied up with the wonder of the new social media, Facebook came along and out-paced it. But we experienced it and I have great memories from those times.

However, we are still here and I still have a chuckle occasionally when something daft happens. Allan still makes me laugh for one. :-D :-D

and the support is still here. I know several friends on here who I could PM if I had something I was worried/upset about which is a great comfort.

rose, get yourself healthier and come back to us again please. You know you will miss us. <3 <3

And it's still the best site for making contacts for the family tree.

Dear All

Go on, Our Nyx!

You know you want to stay!

Take gentle care
Love Elizabeth, EOS
xx

Just like Arnold Sweatyknickers.......

"She'll be back!"

:-D

Don't worry Folks
Rose will miss us so much she will be back
She is on elastic lol x

But like Arnie says He will be back

So will our Rose ;-) ;-) ;-)
